Mutation: the changing of the structure of a gene, resulting in a variant form that may be transmitted to subsequent generations, caused by the alteration of single base units in DNA, or the deletion, insertion, or rearrangement of larger sections of genes or chromosomes.
The WHO has set ambitious targets for eliminating TB in low-incidence countries such as the US and Canada. While it’s true that the majority of TB cases in these settings arise from rea...
